on Mac OSX, npm install run succesfully, but when I run npm start I get the following:

 ERROR  EMFILE: too many open files, watch
{"errno":-24,"syscall":"watch","code":"EMFILE","filename":null}

installing watchman might be a workaround, works for me: https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/4540#issuecomment-393268543
